Abstract This research examines the understanding level of the 4Ps beneficiaries in Marawi City regarding the Family Development Sessions provided by their assigned city links since joining the program, along with the impact and challenges they face. Structured questionnaires and focused group discussions were carried out with 45 participants. The analysis revealed that the participants' comprehension of the FDS modules was limited, with only certain topics like "Food and Nutrition" and those related to the Marawi Siege and COVID-19 Pandemic being well understood and practiced by the beneficiaries. Challenges mainly revolved around venue issues and social commitments. While the FDS had a positive impact on the respondents, some struggled to implement their learnings due to conflicting beliefs, and the community empowerment aspect fell short. Based on the study's results, the researcher recommends the following actions: 1. Ensure beneficiaries understand topics by evaluating comprehension after each session. 2. Conduct periodic evaluations to assess knowledge retention. 3. Establish fixed FDS dates to avoid communication issues. 4. Secure spacious venues for sessions in coordination with barangay officials. 5. Continuously remind beneficiaries of the importance of FDS attendance. 6. Hold monthly FDS for all parent groups. 7. Tailor activities to suit all beneficiaries' capacities. 8. Encourage questions and feedback during sessions. 9. Stress the importance of communication for parent leaders. 10. Implement spot-checks by higher authorities to ensure compliance with FDS guidelines.
